George Orwell: It began unobtrusively, almost politely. A post here and there disappearedโquietly, without explanation or ceremony. An article was removed from circulation, then another. Each absence was small enough to be dismissed, each deletion subtle enough to avoid resistance. Nothing was announced; nothing was debated. Silence, after all, rarely provokes outrage.
In time, the pattern became more ambitious. A full news outlet vanished from the public sphere. Care was taken, of course. This particular outlet had permitted voices that questioned authority, and that alone made it dangerous. Yet its removal could not appear ideological. It had to be justified, reframed as a protective measureโnecessary for public order, for social harmony, for the safety of children. History had shown that the public rarely resists when restrictions are presented as safeguards. People will surrender almost anything if they are told it is for their own good.
And so they did.
Freedom of expression was not seized in a single, dramatic act. It was eroded incrementally, diluted until it no longer resembled the right it once was. The public did not protest because they did not perceive the loss. What is taken slowly, invisibly, is rarely mourned. By the time the absence is felt, the language to describe it has already been censored.
What remained was a carefully managed narrativeโone that served not the public, but the authority itself. Safety became the justification; control, the objective. And those who might have spoken out found that the space to do so had quietly, efficiently, and irrevocably disappeared.
I ws unable to find any evidence that this is any particular Ofcom team (Ofcom is massive). Could be any bunch of Karens. They look like lawyers to me.
White liberal women.... Worst species on this Planet... ๐๐
110% correct. They're the cancer of the western world.
Ofcom want to sue 4chan for some reason or another, I hope this goes to court, more keks than there are stars in the sky.
They are all wearing comfortable shoes!
(Translation: Women wearing comfortable shoes is a polite way of saying they are lesbians)
All but one wearing men's clothes.
Yep, that's another indication for them!
So much for diversity
Probably 'Mentaly Diverse' ๐๐ง
OFCOM was started by Tony FUCKING ANTICHRIST Blair.

They all got their period at the same time...
